Fans have started to associate Jurgen Klopp with the Barcelona manager’s position as Xavi Hernandez prepares to step down. When Xavi Hernandez revealed he would not be returning to lead Barcelona for the upcoming season, football fans were taken away. Following Barcelona’s devastating 3-5 home loss to Villarreal, the news was made.
They now trail Real Madrid by 10 points in the La Liga rankings as a result of the outcome. The game was as exciting and action-packed as it seems. Villareal led 2-0 at the beginning of the game, but Barcelona rallied with three goals in the next 12 minutes to take a 3-2 lead in the 72nd minute.
However, poor defense let Barcelona down once more as Goncalo Guedes pulled one back for the visitors in the 84th minute, Alexander Sorloth scored the winning goal in stoppage time, and Jose Morales added another.
After the loss, Xavi made the following announcement to the media: “I want to make the announcement that on June 30 I will no longer be the coach of Barca.” I can’t let this continue as a supporter of Barcelona; we need a shift in direction and dynamism.”
“The sense of being the coach of Barcelona is irrational it is unpleasant, and you feel like you don’t get the respect you deserve,” he said in an opening statement about his time.
It drains you and interferes with your emotions and mental well-being to the point where you declare yourself incapable of continuing. My loved ones are aware of that,” he continued.
Simply put, Xavi is not going to be leaving. Even Jurgen Klopp, the manager of Liverpool, recently declared his intention to leave the team at the end of this season. Thus, after Xavi revealed the startling information, experts and fans started pleading with Joan Laporta to step in and defend the German.
“However, renowned transfer reporter Fabrizio believes Barcelona will have difficulty acquiring Klopp. He stated in an interview with CaughtOffside: “There is currently nothing going on, but we’re bound to see linkages with Barcelona now that Xavi also declared he was quitting his position there. It’s still extremely early and unresolved; Barcelona will take their time and make a decision gradually rather than all at once.”
In contrast to Xavi and Barcelona, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, who have scored 43 points in 20 games, is currently behind Klopp’s Liverpool, who have 48 points from 21 games and one more game remaining.
